Thomas Tuchel plans to speak with Jude Bellingham before finalizing England's squad for the upcoming November camp. Bellingham, who was left out in October when England secured their World Cup spot with a win over Latvia, remains a hot topic in the media. Tuchel clarified that Bellingham's exclusion was to maintain the core team that performed well in September, and emphasized there is no personal conflict with the Real Madrid star.
Tuchel intends to reach out to Bellingham and other players not currently in the squad to discuss their future involvement. Despite media focus on Bellingham, Tuchel highlighted the presence of other talented players deserving of a spot. With England having secured the top spot in Group K, Tuchel is now focused on the upcoming qualifiers against Serbia and Albania, aiming for strong performances even though the results won't affect their standing. He believes England has the potential to be a strong contender at next year's World Cup in North America.
